What is the average price per kWh of electricity in Luxembourg in 2026?

According to Eurostat data for the first half of 2025, the average price including tax for residential households in Luxembourg is between 0.267 and 0.280 €/kWh depending on the supplier and consumption profile (households 2,500-4,999 kWh/year). In 2026, state aid for network costs (~-3.9 ct/kWh) will help to keep prices within this range. The exact tariff depends on the supplier chosen and the type of contract.

Why has the price of kWh increased in 2025 in Luxembourg?

Two main factors explain the increase of more than 25 % in the first half of 2025 - one of the highest in the EU. Firstly, the new ILR network tariff structure that came into force on 1 January 2025 introduced a larger power component. Secondly, the price cap mechanism in place since 2023 has been progressively reduced. These two factors combined have led to a significant increase in bills for the majority of households.

Are network charges the same for all electricity suppliers in Luxembourg?

Yes, absolutely. Grid usage charges are set by the ILR and collected by Creos. They are the same regardless of which energy supplier you choose. Competition between suppliers only concerns the energy component - that's the only part that can be optimised by changing supplier.

What is reference power (Pref) and how does it affect bills in Luxembourg?

Since January 2025, Creos has allocated a reference power (Pref) in kW to each household fitted with a smart meter, calculated on the basis of consumption history. This Pref determines the fixed monthly charge in the network costs. The vast majority of standard households get 3 kW. Households with energy-intensive equipment (EV charging station, heat pump) may find themselves in higher categories (5, 7 kW or more), increasing their fixed charge. You can reduce your Pref by avoiding the simultaneous use of energy-guzzling appliances.

Is the state aid of €150 million in 2026 automatic?

Yes, the help with the 2026 network charge applies automatically to all residential consumers with an annual consumption of less than 25,000 kWh. No action, registration or form is required. The reduction is incorporated directly into the network charges invoiced by the supplier. However, this mechanism is presented as temporary (valid for 2026 only) - its renewal beyond that date is not guaranteed.

What does the energy component mean on my electricity bill in Luxembourg?

The energy component is the part of the bill set by the commercial supplier according to the purchase prices on the European wholesale markets (day-ahead market). This is the only component that consumers can optimise by changing supplier or contract type. It accounts for around 40 to 50 % of the total bill, including VAT. Network charges and taxes, which make up the remainder, are identical regardless of the supplier.

What is the supplier of last resort in Luxembourg?

The supplier of last resort is designated by ILR to guarantee continuity of supply if a supplier can no longer deliver. ILR has appointed Enovos Luxembourg to this role. This last-resort tariff is generally higher than offers on the free market - it is designed as a safety net, not as a competitive commercial offer.

Are network charges the same with all electricity suppliers in Luxembourg?

Yes, absolutely. Network usage charges are set by the ILR and collected by Creos. They are strictly identical regardless of your energy supplier. In April 2026, competition between suppliers concerns only the energy component, which ranges from 10.90 c€/kWh (Enovos FIX) to 13.80 c€/kWh (Energy Revolt Bee Revolt).

Electricity price per kWh in Luxembourg 2026: supplier comparison

In April 2026, Enovos is the cheapest electricity supplier in Luxembourg at 10.90 c€/kWh with its FIX naturstroum home offer — ahead of SUDénergie (11.25 c€/kWh), Sudstroum (12.29 c€/kWh) and Energy Revolt (13.80 c€/kWh). The gap between the cheapest and most expensive supplier can represent up to €116/year for a 4-person household. Your bill breaks down into three blocks: the energy price in c€/kWh (variable by supplier), Creos network charges (identical for all), and state taxes. In 2026, a €150 million state subsidy reduces network charges by approximately 3.9 c€/kWh. This guide gives you all current prices and helps you pay the right price.

Energy price excluding Creos network charges and taxes. Source: Switchr.lu, supplier data April 2026. Updated monthly.

By choosing Enovos FIX naturstroum home (10.90 c€/kWh) instead of the most expensive offer (Energy Revolt Bee Revolt at 13.80 c€/kWh), a 4-person household (4,000 kWh/year) saves approximately €116/year on the energy component alone. Enovos’s fixed-price offer is guaranteed for 3 years — particularly valuable in a context of European energy market volatility.

Why compare in c€/kWh? The euro cent per kilowatt-hour (c€/kWh) is the reference unit for comparing suppliers at source, independently of your consumption level. A difference of 1 c€/kWh amounts to approximately €40/year for a standard 4-person household (4,000 kWh/year). It is the unit used by suppliers themselves in their official tariff documents.

kWh price and monthly cost by consumption profile

The c€/kWh price is the comparison data point between suppliers. But your actual monthly bill also includes Creos network charges and taxes, which are identical for everyone. The table below shows the estimated all-in TTC cost with the cheapest offer on the market (Enovos FIX naturstroum home at 10.90 c€/kWh), in April 2026, including the state subsidy.

Consumption profile	Annual consumption	Monthly cost (all-in)*	Annual cost (all-in)*
Studio / 1 person	1,500 kWh/year	€37.41/month	€448.93/year
Apartment / 2 people	2,500 kWh/year	€51.81/month	€621.74/year
House / 3–4 people	4,000 kWh/year	€73.47/month	€881.60/year
House + electric vehicle	6,000 kWh/year	€103.04/month	€1,236.46/year
House + heat pump	7,000 kWh/year	€118.40/month	€1,420.75/year

These figures include all three bill components: the energy price (Enovos FIX naturstroum home, 10.90 c€/kWh), regulated Creos network charges, and state taxes (8% VAT). Only the energy component changes from one supplier to another — network charges and taxes remain identical regardless of your offer. With the most expensive offer on the market, a 4-person household would pay approximately €116/year more on the energy component alone.

The structure of electricity prices in Luxembourg

The kWh price shown by a supplier represents only part of what you actually pay. In Luxembourg, the electricity bill is made up of three distinct blocks, separately regulated but billed together by your supplier.

Component	Who sets it?	Nature	Impact on your bill
Energy price	Your supplier (free market)	Variable by offer — from 10.90 to 13.80 c€/kWh in April 2026	Main component — the only negotiable one
Network charges (grid tariff)	Creos (grid operator), approved by the ILR	Regulated — identical regardless of supplier	Fixed part (by Pref level) + variable part (kWh)
Taxes & state mechanisms	Luxembourg Government / ILR	Legal — consumption tax (0.10 ct/kWh) + 8% VAT	Relatively low compared to neighbouring countries

Source: ILR — Electricity bills · Enovos — Network tariff 2025

This architecture explains why switching supplier only affects the energy component: network charges and taxes remain identical regardless of who supplies your electricity. Competition plays out on the energy price — from 10.90 c€/kWh (Enovos FIX) to 13.80 c€/kWh (Energy Revolt Bee Revolt) in April 2026 — and that is where savings are possible.

The energy component: your supplier’s role

The energy price is the most significant and the only truly negotiable part of your bill. In April 2026, prices range from 10.90 c€/kWh (Enovos FIX naturstroum home, fixed 3 years) to 13.80 c€/kWh (Energy Revolt Bee Revolt).

Fixed tariff

Network charges: the ILR 2025–2026 reform

Network usage charges are the second component of your electricity bill. They compensate Creos, Luxembourg’s distribution network operator, for transporting electricity to your home. These tariffs are regulated and approved by the ILR — they are strictly identical regardless of your energy supplier.

Since 1 January 2025, a new network tariff structure has been in force, with the stated objective of better reflecting the real cost of network usage in the energy transition era.

Monthly fixed charge — based on your reference power level (Pref), automatically assigned by Creos based on your consumption history. The vast majority of standard households are assigned a Pref of 3 kW (the lowest level).

Volumetric charge — applied to each kWh consumed; the variable part of the network charges.

Excess power surcharge — an additional charge applies when your consumption exceeds your reference power level, discouraging simultaneous power peaks that overload the grid.

Metering charge — covers the rental of the smart meter and metering data management.

If you have an EV charging point, a heat pump, a sauna or an electric pool heater, you may be placed in a higher reference power category (5 kW, 7 kW or more), increasing your fixed monthly charge. Use the simulator at creos-net.lu or myilr.lu to estimate your category.

Taxes and state mechanisms: the third block of your bill

Tax / Mechanism	Nature	Level 2025 (cat. A, residential < 25,000 kWh/year)
Electricity consumption tax	Set annually by the budget law	0.100 ct/kWh (category A)
Compensation mechanism	Managed by the ILR — supports renewable energy production	−0.10 ct/kWh in 2026 (negative = bill reduction)
VAT	Luxembourg reduced rate	8% on the total all-in bill

Luxembourg’s VAT on electricity is 8% — well below France’s 20% or Germany’s 19%. This lighter tax burden is one of the key reasons why Luxembourg’s all-in electricity prices remain competitive despite relatively high pre-tax energy prices.

The 2026 state subsidy: what changes in practice

In 2026, the Luxembourg government introduced an unprecedented intervention on network charges via a €150 million envelope, reducing network usage fees by approximately 3.9 c€/kWh for residential consumers.

Concrete impact of the 2026 state subsidy:

Detached house — annual consumption: 4,000 kWh — reference power level: 3 kW

Reduction via state subsidy on network charges: approximately −3.9 c€/kWh
Over 4,000 kWh → saving of approximately €156/year compared to a no-subsidy scenario

The subsidy is applied automatically — no action needed. It is already integrated into the tariffs shown on our comparator. Compare offers →

Consumption profile	Annual consumption	Estimated cost 2024 (without aid)	Estimated cost 2025 (with aid)
Apartment (1 person)	~1,500 kWh/year	€490/year	€590/year (aid included)
Standard detached house	~4,000 kWh/year	€880/year	€1,150/year (aid included)
New house + heat pump	~7,000 kWh/year	€1,350/year	€1,760/year (aid included)

The 2026 state subsidy is a one-year temporary measure. Its renewal beyond 2026 is not guaranteed. If you are planning structural investments (solar panels, heat pump, home battery), base your calculations on the structural electricity price — not just the current subsidised price.

Frequently asked questions about electricity prices in Luxembourg

Which is the cheapest electricity supplier in Luxembourg in 2026?

In April 2026, Enovos is the cheapest electricity supplier in Luxembourg with its FIX naturstroum home offer at 10.90 c€/kWh (fixed price, guaranteed 3 years). SUDénergie with Mäi Stroum (11.25 c€/kWh) and Sudstroum with Terra Online (12.29 c€/kWh) rank second and third. The most expensive offer is Energy Revolt Bee Revolt at 13.80 c€/kWh. Choosing Enovos FIX instead of Energy Revolt Bee Revolt saves approximately €116/year for a 4-person household (4,000 kWh/year).

What is the electricity price per kWh in Luxembourg in 2026?

In April 2026, the energy price from residential suppliers in Luxembourg ranges from 10.90 c€/kWh (Enovos FIX naturstroum home) to 13.80 c€/kWh (Energy Revolt Bee Revolt). The total all-in price, including Creos network charges and taxes, is around 26.7 to 28.0 c€/kWh — corresponding to €73.47/month for a 4-person household (4,000 kWh/year) with the cheapest offer.

What is the difference between the price in c€/kWh and the price in €/month?

The price in c€/kWh is the unit energy price used to compare suppliers independently of your consumption level. A difference of 1 c€/kWh amounts to approximately €40/year for a standard 4-person household (4,000 kWh/year). The price in €/month is your total bill, which includes the energy price (c€/kWh × your consumption), Creos network charges (fixed and variable) and state taxes (8% VAT). To compare suppliers, look at c€/kWh. To budget your bill, think in €/month.

Are network charges the same with all suppliers?

Yes, absolutely. Network usage charges are set by the ILR and collected by Creos. They are strictly identical regardless of your energy supplier. Competition in April 2026 concerns only the energy component, which ranges from 10.90 c€/kWh (Enovos FIX) to 13.80 c€/kWh (Energy Revolt Bee Revolt).

Why did my kWh price increase in 2025?

Two main factors explain the 2025 increase. First, the new ILR network tariff structure that came into force on 1 January 2025 raised network charges for all consumers. Second, the electricity price cap mechanism in place since 2023 was progressively removed. Together, these contributed to a price increase of more than 25% in Luxembourg in H1 2025 — one of the highest in the EU. The 2026 state subsidy (−3.9 c€/kWh on network charges) partially offsets this.

Is the 2026 state subsidy applied automatically?

Yes. The 2026 network charge subsidy (approximately −3.9 c€/kWh, or ~€156/year for 4,000 kWh) applies automatically to all residential consumers with annual consumption below 25,000 kWh. No registration or paperwork is needed. This mechanism is presented as temporary for 2026 — its renewal beyond that is not guaranteed.

Can I switch electricity supplier in Luxembourg easily?

Yes. The Luxembourg electricity market has been liberalised since 2007. Switching supplier is a simple process — no power cut, no technical visit required. You sign a contract with the new supplier, who handles the switch with Creos. The typical lead time is a few weeks. Full guide: how to switch electricity supplier in Luxembourg.

Is Luxembourg an expensive country for electricity in Europe?

Luxembourg sits around the European average — slightly below the EU-27 average in all-in prices (~€0.27/kWh vs the EU average of €0.287 in H1 2025). It is significantly cheaper than Germany (~€0.38/kWh) and Belgium (~€0.36/kWh). With the cheapest market offer (Enovos FIX naturstroum home, 10.90 c€/kWh energy), a 4-person household pays €881.60/year, compared to approximately €1,520/year in Germany for identical consumption.
